Answer:

D. Longshore currents

Explanation:

Longshore currents are characterized as the sediment transport that occurs in the surf zone, due to the oblique incidence of the waves, along the beach. A current develops between the beach and the surf zone parallel to the coast, normally between 0.3 and 1 m / s. It is this process that is responsible for accumulating and removing sand that results in displacement of barrier islands.

The oak tree pathogen Phytophthora ramorum migrated 650 km in ten years. West Nile virus spread from New York to 46 others state
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

B) the mobility of their hosts

Explanation:

A pathogen that attacks an oak trees and a pathogen that attacks humans doesn't really have that big of a difference, but on the other side we can see that the pathogen that attacks the oak trees is spreading out much less and over much smaller territory than the pathogen attacking humans. The main reason behind this is the mobility of the host of the pathogen and where the host of it lives. In the case with the oak trees, the pathogen will be migrating very slowly over smaller distance because there's only certain places where the oak trees live, and also they are not mobile, and the pathogen will be able to spread out only through their seeds and cones which is a slow process. On the other hand, the pathogen attacking humans will manage to spread out very quickly over very large area because there are humans living in lot of places, their numbers are high, and their mobility is easy and quick over large distances, so the pathogen will travel with its host easily for hundreds or thousands of kilometers and then spread out in another place far away.

Organisms in an ecosystem are interdependent. Do you think humans have interdependent relationships with other organisms? Explai
faust18 [17]

Answer:Organisms rely on each other to sustain the ecological environment, something that humans have been lacking in. So, in general, organisms are interdependent because they have no choice. There are more particular instances (mutualism, symbiosis, etc.) where the connection is more local and direct.

A nurse is measuring the blood pressure of toddlers during a community health camp. what blood pressure finding is the nurse mos
aniked [119]
The nurse could find an 86-106 systolic and 42-63 diastolic pressure in toddlers. Though taking a toddler's blood pressure is infinitely harder compared to adults, their blood pressure is often influenced by many factors because they are growing up. Generally, boys' blood pressure will be higher than the girls'. Those taller kids will have a more normal blood pressure than the shorter ones. Age and sex affect the blood pressure of toddlers.

Write an 2 paragraphs about germination! PLEASE ASAP ☹
balu736 [363]

Germination is a process where plants and other organisms emerge from gymnosperm/angiosperm seeds and start their growth. Gymnosperms are seeds that are not protected by an ovule. Angiosperms are vascular plants that grow fruit and flowers, which are protected by ovule. Sprouting of a seedling from a seed is an example of germination. Fully developed seeds contain an embryo, that store food reserves and are wrapped in the seed coat. Some factors of successful germination include water, oxygen, temperature, type of soil, and light intake.
